Tlaib also said that “Our lack of accountability and speaking out from the beginning against war crimes is what has led us now to this horrific moment.” On Friday, Amnesty International called for Israel to end its siege on Gaza, which it called “a genocidal act, a blatant form of unlawful collective punishment, and the war crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare”. According to Munir al-Bursh, director general of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the blockade - now the most severe since the war began 18 months ago - has plunged nearly 91 percent of the population, around two million people, into a food crisis. The number of children receiving treatment for malnutrition rose by 80 percent in April compared to March, driven by the blockade, the UN’s humanitarian office, Ocha, reported.
